I don't get it, his movies suck and there's nothing funny about him
I'm not a fan myself but 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Neighbors are hit movies. Plus he's Jewish and produces his own material. I'm sure that keeps him well connected.
He basically followed the Adam Sandler format but accelerated, never reached the same highs and fell off even faster.
eh nah, you're wrong. dude most certainly fell off. Now he's just exploring other avenue's.Eh - this isn't true. He's producing 3 TV shows this year alone - 'Preacher', 'The Boys' and Black Monday. I imagine he's good.
Plus you're crazy if you think The Lion King isn't going to print money.
Dude has done a pretty good job of not just sticking in the acting lane.
